Dillard University launches redesigned athletic website

NEW ORLEANS – The Dillard Athletics Department unveiled a fresh look to DillardBleuDevils.com Monday through its partnership with Black Diamond IT Services. Dillard’s official athletics website was redesigned to provide enhanced layout features to make the site more user-friendly.

“Excellence in communication is an area of emphasis in our athletics program. With the ever-changing world of web design and social media, it is critical to keep our most utilized communication tool up to date” athletic director Dr. Kiki Baker Barnes said.

The innovative online destination for Dillard Athletics features concise navigation that keeps Bleu Devil fans one click away from the most popular pages. The revamped site also includes new functionality, ranging from sleek team schedule bars to social media integration on each sports page to keep visitors actively engaged with their favorite Dillard team.

The redesign reinforces Dillard’s continued partnership with Black Diamond IT Services and their product SIDHelp. SIDHelp is a content management and web development system built specifically for college athletic departments. The SIDHelp network currently includes more than 200 sites nationwide.

“We are excited to roll-out the first of several enhancements to our communication channels that will place emphasis on user-functionality for our fans,” Barnes said.

The new website also includes larger photos, easier navigation between pages, quick access to the department’s social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
